hey there thinking of building a pc pritty locked into buying 3200mhz 16 gig ram. with a ryzen 7 2700x a gig m.2 hdd.

 

now I'm looking at a graphics card I don't wanna spend more than 150 pound at this time but I would like to potentialy play games at 4k 30 - 60 untill I decide to upgrade looking at a Asus 1650 is there anything better for price range or suggestions for price range.

You want be able to run a lot of 4k games at ultra low settings with a 1650. I would suggest that a 1660ti is the minimum. Maybe you can check out used gtx 1070's or 1080's for a similar price as your budget.

These two statements are at odds with one another.

 

4K = $$$$, why not get a 1440p monitor and an RX 580? Or, since you saved money with the lower resolution monitor, consider improving your GPU budget.

I'll actually be connecting the computer to my 4k tv or that's the plan tbh witch is why I never mentioned monitor. and why 4k isn't a necessity on initial build. trying to make entire build at around 600 pound.

You really can't find any new $150 GPU that will handle 4K in any AAA game released in the last 5 years. What I would suggest is change out the 2700X for a 3600, 2700 or even a 2600, try and save up some a little more cash and go for at least a 1660 Super or RX 580, if you're buying new, but also consider checking out the used market, and look for used GTX 1070s, 1070 Tis or 1080s.

Here's a configuration that's almost 600 UK pounds:

* it's ONE 8 GB stick.  Find another 28 UK pounds and you can install a 2nd stick, and you have 5-10% extra performance due to dual channel mode. You can survive for a month or so with 8 GB.

* it's only 512 GB of SSD... but that's enough for a few games and the OS. Add a mechanical drive or a 2nd SSD later if you need more space.

You could shave a few more pounds with a cheaper case (mATX instead of ATX) or with another supply  ex 41.2 uk pounds for a beQuiet System Power 9 500w , or 45 uk pounds for Corsair CX 450w
